Han insists the diner gang attends a mandatory night out in an “Escape Room Club” when he feels they aren’t working together as a team. However, once they’re locked inside the “Alice in Wonderland”-themed room, they find Han has an ulterior motive.

When Caroline’s grandmother Astrid awakens from a coma with no knowledge of her family’s massive money scandal, Caroline attempts to keep the truth hidden for a bit longer by giving Astrid one last fancy luncheon.

Oleg’s pro-basketball playing cousin comes to town to play a game against Max’s favorite team and gifts her with two free tickets, but chaos ensues when the girls interfere with the game and risk ruining their cupcake business’ reputation in the process.

Caroline continues meeting with studio writers in an effort to make her life story into a movie, but she is torn when they reveal they would not portray Max in the project. Also, Max is being spoiled by her new Hollywood beau, Randy, who sets Caroline up on a date with his friend, Bob.

There is a rumor that Oleg's father will be appearing this season, and that the girls will no longer be broke. It is yet to be seen whether this is true or not. Source

Oleg (Kite) and Sophie (Jennifer Coolidge) will get serious about having a baby: "[They're] always trying to have a baby, but [they're] pulling the goalie this time," Kite says. "We’re exploring the humor with all the options that go in with that—being on a schedule, and there are all these apps. The made-up app on our show is hysterical. Ours is about a monkey. So this monkey starts screaming every time it wants us to have sex." Source

"Caroline sells her story to Hollywood to make a film," Dennings shared. "And [they] could make some money out of that, so [they] go to Hollywood and Max meets a man there." Dennings already has a frontrunner for the guy in her mind, of course. "They said an older man, so I said John Waters," she said. "Obviously. Because he’s a silver fox." Source
